Porous organic nanofiber polymers as superfast adsorbents for capturing pharmaceutical contaminants from water

Seenu Ravi et al.

Summary: This study presents the synthesis of novel hypercrosslinked hydroxyl-rich porous organic polymers as potential adsorbents for pharmaceutical and personal care product waste. The synthesized porous organic nanofibers show superior adsorption capacities and fast kinetics for model PPCPs, with excellent selectivity against other organic compounds and metal ions commonly found in wastewater. The adsorbent also demonstrates good reusability over multiple cycles, with a proposed host-guest mechanism for the superior PPCP adsorption.

Behaviour of 27 selected emerging contaminants in vertical flow constructed wetlands as post-treatment for municipal wastewater

Silvia Venditti et al.

Summary: The study investigated the efficiency of different substrates in removing emerging contaminants from wastewater using Vertical Flow Constructed Wetlands (VFCWs). The laboratory investigation showed that VFCWs could provide excellent effluent quality, with overall removal efficiencies exceeding 90% in most cases. Substrate type played a role in the removal of compounds with medium elimination. Under real conditions, VFCWs with 15% activated biochar mixed with sand were effective in removing 18 emerging contaminants and meeting national discharge standards for 4 selected compounds.

Recent advances in metabolic engineering of microorganisms for advancing lignocellulose-derived biofuels

Abhishek Joshi et al.

Summary: Addressing climate change and energy supply issues requires the use of renewable biofuels as a replacement for petroleum fuels. However, the cost-effective conversion of lignocellulose into biofuels remains a challenge. Recent research has focused on lignocellulose feedstock and microbial engineering, with some success in improving metabolic pathways and creating robust microbial hosts. Future advancements should focus on designing more efficient pathways and screening and engineering novel enzymes to achieve economically feasible lignocellulosic-based biofuel production.

Occurrence and fate of pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs) and pesticides in African water systems: A need for timely intervention

Charles Obinwanne Okoye et al.

Summary: The occurrence of emerging contaminants such as pharmaceuticals, personal care products (PPCPs), and pesticides in the aquatic environment has raised concerns about their negative effects on aquatic species and humans. PPCPs and pesticides, due to their toxicity and bioactive nature, have a higher potential to harm water systems compared to other contaminants. Limited data exists on remediation and control strategies for PPCPs and pesticides in African water systems, highlighting the need for adequate intervention strategies.

The potential of medicinal plant extracts in improving the phytoremediation capacity of Solanum nigrum L. for heavy metal contaminated soil

Ran Han et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of eight medicinal plant extracts on the accumulation of Cd and Pb by Solanum nigrum L. Results showed that treatment with Phyllanthus emblica L. significantly increased the concentration of Cd and Pb in S. nigrum. EDTA treatment improved the concentration of Cd and Pb but decreased the biomass of the plant. The chelative role of Phyllanthus emblica L. may be related to its polyphenolic compounds, suggesting potential for enhancing phytoremediation of hyperaccumulator plants.

Fate of Benzophenone, Benzophenone-3 and Caffeine in Lab-Scale Direct River Water Treatment by Hybrid Processes

Minja Bogunovic et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the efficacy of different processes for removing microcontaminants from river water, including coagulation/flocculation/sedimentation (C/F/S), adsorption onto powdered activated carbon (PAC)/sedimentation (PAC/S), and their combination in different dosing sequences. It was found that the removal efficiency of benzophenones by coagulation varied with season, while CF was moderately removed. The combination of PAC/C/F/S showed excellent removal for BP and BP-3, but PACs were not efficient for the removal of hydrophilic CF. Additionally, the combination of ultrafiltration with PAC or coagulant showed high efficacy for benzophenones but was negligible for CF removal.
